Description

There are occasions where text is not meant to be selected or searched for, such as watermarks (see below).
I don't know how easy this is to implement with PDF, but it would be a helpful addition to Typst's already-great featureset.

Use Case

Typst's documentation provides a good example:

#set page(background: rotate(24deg,
  text(18pt, fill: rgb("FFCBC4"))[
    *CONFIDENTIAL*
  ]
))

= Typst's secret plans
In the year 2023, we plan to take
over the world (of typesetting).
